Hola,

My name is Ashley! I've had many experiences tutoring and working with children of different age groups and backgrounds, because I'm especially passionate about helping people overcome their learning barriers and achieve their potential. I am a native English and Chinese speaker, who have also grown up speaking Bahasa Indonesian. I am comfortable teaching Maths up to High School advanced level (depending on the syllabus eg. GCSE, International Baccalaureate), and English and Literature for both second-language and first-language speakers.
Essentially, I am interested to help you according to your needs, whether that is after-school homework, extra classes about a difficult concept, proofreading your essay, or learning a new language. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this a bit further, just reach out!

About Me
Hi, My name is Ashley Yong, I'm a recent graduate in Economics and Policy Sciences who's now living in The Hague, Netherlands. I've had many experiences tutoring and working with children of different age groups and backgrounds, from English for refugee high school students, fire-building and marine wildlife identification for 10 years olds, and swimming for my non-bouyant friends! I enjoy helping people grow, overcome their weaknesses, build their confidence and ultimately, acheive their fullest potential.

Your skill level or experience does not matter, as I would cater my lessons according to your individual strength and abilities. I believe patience, openness and communication is important, and the best combination for an optimum learning environment. As such, I am also comfortable tutoring second-language English speakers. If you would like to discuss further, please reach out and contact me!

Lauend
Hello there!

Do you need help with IB or IGCSE Economics, English or Politics? Are teachers just not enough? Well then, let me help you!

My name is Lauend, a student pursuing a BSc in Political Science. I am an experienced tutor specializing in IB and IGCSE Economics, English, and Politics, with a strong academic background and a student-centred teaching approach.

Having completed both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate, I understand these curricula from the inside—not just in terms of content, but in how examiners think, how mark schemes are structured, and where students commonly lose marks. This allows me to teach strategically, with a clear focus on exam performance, conceptual understanding, and long-term academic confidence.

I already have hands-on tutoring experience with students at different ability levels, ranging from those aiming to consolidate core knowledge to high-achievers targeting top grades. Each student receives a curated learning plan, adapted to their strengths, weaknesses, pace, and academic goals. I have taught and supported IGCSE and IB DP students at schools such as the Amsterdam International Community School and the Rotterdam International Secondary School.

Through my holistic, tailor-made tutoring for each student, I can help you not only achieve higher marks in IB and IGCSE, but also (and more importantly) understand and apply these subjects in the real world, a useful skill that will become increasingly valuable throughout life.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your grades, sharpen your essays, or finally feel confident walking into exams, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more effective.

⭐ English for Adults of All Levels and Ages with a Native English Teacher

Personalised classes to improve your English grammar, vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation with an experienced native English teacher. I am available for you, your relative or your friend online and in The Hague / Den Haag, Netherlands. I teach adults of all levels and ages, including seniors.

CUSTOMISED COURSES:

You can decide what you want to do in our class. Tell me in advance, and I will spend time preparing materials for your needs and goals. For example:

• conversations with feedback and corrections (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation)
• help with reading and writing
• understand and practise grammar
• learn idioms and natural language with context
• prepare for visits abroad or conversations with foreigners
• creative activities like cooking together and language games

TEACHING STYLE:

My classes are light-hearted and highly interactive. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to learn fast and grow in confidence.


💬 I'm Tom, and I've been teaching English since 2013. Originally I'm from the south of England, and I've been happily living in The Hague, Netherlands since 2021. Before this I lived in Finland, Taiwan and mainland China. I speak a bunch of languages besides English, like Mandarin, Finnish, some French, and a little Japanese. When I'm not teaching, I'm working on my Dutch!

I have a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics, and my research focus was how to teach English pronunciation and speaking skills. I won't let you down. 🫡


❗ Very importantly, I will also show you how to study on your own.

I know you won't be my student forever, so I want to prepare you for the future. If you hope to get good at English, it's not enough just to have a tutor once a week – the more time you put into learning English, the better and faster you'll get. I can show you how to easily make digital flashcards, write memorable notes, and use AI in a smart way to teach you English. This way you can keep learning even after our course ends.


DID YOU KNOW?
In English speaking, we usually don't say the word "must". Must is very formal and uncommon unless you're talking about rules ("Passengers must check in and out") or making a confident guess ("You must be Tom!"). Otherwise, must is very old fashioned. Instead, we say "have to" or "need to". In 1965, the Queen said "I must go to the lavatory". Everyone in the 21st century says "I have to go to the toilet." Knowing the differences between formal and informal English is important so you use the right words in the right situations! A native English teacher is the best person to help you with this.
